Yay! This works like a charme!
There would be some benefit to having geographic mirrors. I suspect that having such mirrors available would improve performance further, at least for some folks. It might also be useful to have some mirrors for redundancy purposes. Note though that what I'm doing is mirroring the only index data. I'm not mirroring distributions. Of course, I'd be happy to make my software available. (It already is via our subversion repository.)
I'd be happy to support mirroring once all this is sorted out/ I can offer a server in Germany/Europe. Christian
